My problem with this, is with Funimation. If they actually streamed their shows themselves, and not use HULU to do so, I probably wouldn't care, but they use HULU, which equals ads galore. I hate that site now.

So I can understand them being taken down here, after all, we paying customers to CR don't have to watch ads, which hurts Funi in the end, because we're watching it HERE, and not THERE. Well, they're wrong in thinking I'll watch it THERE, they can pound sand. When the DVD/BD comes out for Zombie, I may pick them up.

Funi does have their own player, but it has ads too. It helps them get new licenses and make more revenue for DVD releases. Only thing that sucks about them is that they remove all their episodes after a while, but some of them they kept up for a long time like My Bride is a Mermaid which I am still waiting for the complete collection to be released. Dx

Meh I kinda figured this would happen eventually especially with Sora no Otoshimono: Forte since CR didn't have the first series long cause Kadokawa wanted it removed after 30 days. I guess Funi is getting the simulcast rights for the second season of Kore wa Zombie Desu ka? when it gets aired.

Well I guess Funi is going to upload these series on their website soon seeing as how these titles are going to be taken off. Well they actually are still streaming Forte and maybe Strike Witches, but not the other ones.

Gaahhh~~ :Y
This is so annoying, I am not intending to complain to Crunchyroll here, rather to FUNimation however...
Specifically what annoys me most is that FUNimation only license their shows for American audience. Resulting in that even if FUNimation are to stream these shows themselves, we outside America won't be able to stream them anyway.

I have no idea how this licensing stuff works, but here's my question: Why can't Crunchyroll still stream the series for the rest of the world at least?

Funimation also simulcast Sora no Otoshimono: Forte. When they announced they had licensed Strike Witches 2 shortly after CR began the simulcast, they also announced they would simulcast it, but never did. They did not start streaming the series until well after it had ended.

As for Kore wa Zombie Desu ka, it is likely they will simulcast the second series, but it is also unlikely they will have an exclusive unless they also license it for home video before it airs. Keep in mind that for Kadokawa simulcasts, both CR and Funimation now have to stand in line behind NicoNico.

True it's illegally obtained but I'm just pointing out that you can go to that site and watch those animes that are listed without limit if you truly are a fan

So basically what you are saying is that if you are truly a fan, you should watch the anime streamed illegally? Somehow that doesn't make sense to me whatsoever.

No,no if you were a fan, you'd watch the anime no matter what,no? It's my opinion so please stop quoting me

Wow, so you think you're a true fan because you watch illegally, eh? Just wow. Some people on this site don't do what you do because they know that it's illegal to watch from sites like the one you mentioned. They watch anime series on this site, on Funimation's site, on Hulu, on ANN, on The Anime Network's site, and others because they're legal sites that allow for people to watch anime. There's no need for people to use illegal pirate sites to watch anime, even for series that hasn't been licensed.
